I have been a permanent resident since 1986 and live in Washington State.
About 5 weeks ago I went to the Dept of Licensing to change my address on my drivers license. About 4 weeks after that (last week) I received a voter registration card from King County Elections in the mail. The very next day I went to King County Elections to have myself removed from the voter rolls immediately, which they did. They also gave me written notification that I was no longer registered to vote.
It appears that the Department of Licensing registered me to vote without my knowledge and consent. I would have never agreed to this had I known, as I am only too keenly aware that it is illegal for a non-citizen to vote.
I tried to get written confirmation from the DOL that they registered me without my knowledge and consent which of course they will not do.
So, now I am wondering what kind of a mess I might be in with USCIS since now there exists a record with King County Elections that I was registered to vote, albeit only for about 4 weeks. Will there be any bad consequences the next time I renew my gc or apply for citizenship?
Thank you for your help
